Help!  I need more audio books to listen to while I'm working around the house.  I can only listen to CDs now as both of my tape players quit on me.  I love true crime, true stories, memoirs, biographies, mysteries, and suspense, but I'll consider just about anything.  I had a huge stack of them, and now I'm down to just a few!  Please help me stock up!  I don't have much time to sit and read, so I really like audio books to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.  Please PM me with any offers and a list of what you've got.  Thank you!

Hi Sassy,

I've got close to 100 books on cassette. Almost all are abridged (2 cass., about 3 hours). The unabridged ones have as many as 12 cass. I'm willing to do 3 for 1 (3 books / 2 credits) on the abridged ones. Because of the size of the unabridged ones I won't offer a deal on them. They are all in original plastic cases or boxes.

I only have one posted at this time (Dark Lady by Richard Northh Patterson, 11 Cassettes/ 18 hours). About 20 of the abridged books are John D MacDonald's Travis McGee, also some Robert Ludlum.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in let me know and I will compile a list (title, author, # of cass) and send to you or post them.

John
